Home care fund for Rubén in Ciudad de México
Help Rubén stay in his own home with three months of part-time care.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México, Mexico2,284 views
I'm caring for my father, who's 74. After a fall and hip fracture Rubén can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Rubén desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer.
Rubén worked all of his life as a schoolteacher, and raised 4 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for three months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Part-time carer (three months): $1,100
• Medication and prescriptions: $130
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
Wishing you the best, Isabel. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rome
